Women’s Draw

I could only include the last 8 players in this roundup, because that is the round when the ladies started playing on the glass court and you start to get pictures taken from the front of the court.

Nicol David
Racket: Prince EXO3 Rebel
Shoes: Asics Gel Blade 3 W. Apparently these are a custom design. TDG Sports wrote in to say that Nicol was invited to the Asics research center in Kobe, Japan to have a custom shoe made for her. Cool.

James Willstrop has the Prince O3 Black here, which is actually silver not black. The following years model the O3 Speedport black (which you have listed) was changed to be black. It’s an old model, he’s had problems recently with breakages on his latest model.
